The Demon Cultivator of the Sword

Chapter 145 Backstage

Walking on the street, watching the warriors coming and going, Gu Yuan thought to himself: "As expected of the Eastern Region, the quality of the talents is much higher than that of the Southern Region. A relatively large island has many young talents who were in the top 30 of the previous Potential Dragon List."

The country established on Nanhe Island is called Nanhe Kingdom. Don't underestimate Nanhe Kingdom. Although the population of Nanzhuo Domain is thousands of times more than that of Nanhe Island, the quality of its geniuses is really not worth mentioning compared to that.

But think about it, Nanzhuo Domain is just a small domain ranked last in the Southern Domain Group. On the other hand, Nanhe Island is close to Tianwu Domain, which has warriors from various domains in the Eastern Domain Group, so it is normal that there are many geniuses.

"Ring number nine is about to start, let's go take a look."

"Hehe, of course we have to go. Why did we come to Nanhe Island? Isn't it because there are ancient ruins of various sizes around Nanhe Island? If we are lucky, we may be able to harvest some spiritual herbs and treasures. If we are unlucky, we can still see the world. If we can obtain the inheritance of the Scorpio King, it will be even better."

"You think too much about the inheritance of the Scorpio King. Regardless of the fact that the legend of the Scorpio King has a long history, we don't know whether it is true or not. Even if there is a true inheritance, it won't be our turn. Some ancient ruins have set restrictions on warriors. Usually only those below the Spiritual Sea Realm can enter, and there is also an age limit. Even if there is a true inheritance of the Scorpio King, it is the object of competition among the younger generation of geniuses. We just have to wait and see."

"It's okay to just watch. The competition on Nanhe Island is a must-see. Warriors from all the major domains in the Eastern Domain gather here. There are many masters. Even many people from the Tianwu Domain come here. Watching their competition will be good for us."

On the street, warriors were talking about it.

"Ancient ruins, arena competition, Scorpio King inheritance?"

Gu Yuan was not surprised by the ancient ruins and the ring competition.

After all, the largest lakes in the True Spirit Continent are hundreds of times larger than the oceans in the previous life, so it is normal to have ancient relics.

Ring competitions have a long history.

This kind of thing exists in every domain. Even in the Black Dragon Empire where he lives, there are arena competitions. However, the quality of the warriors who take the stage is uneven, and the disciples of the big sects think highly of themselves and simply disdain to participate. They are basically all lone warriors, and most of them are warriors at the Nascent Soul Realm level.

I can't arouse any interest in Gu Yuan at all.

However, the inheritance of the Scorpio King surprised him a little.

As far as he knew, this was the strongest demon king under the Four Great Emperors, and he mastered the fourth style of the Void-Breaking Finger and the fourth key to the Four Great Emperors' Tomb.

It seems that it was obtained by the evildoer Tan Tai Mingyue from the Tan Tai family, one of the four major families in the world.

Could it be that the other party hasn’t got it yet?

"It seems that I have come to the right place."

For Gu Yuan, exploring the ruins was just a side job. The most important thing was to meet the strong men from other domains and improve his own martial arts realm.

But since there is the Scorpio King's Tomb, he feels it is necessary to go and take a look.

Stopping at the door of a restaurant, Gu Yuan walked in, took an extremely enjoyable hot bath, and had a big meal, spending a total of ten low-grade spirit stones.

Maybe for the secular world, it is equivalent to tens of thousands of taels of gold and is very expensive, but for a warrior, it is not worth mentioning.

The amount of high-quality spirit stones that Xiewanglou gave him every year alone was 100,000. Adding to his own wealth, it would not be a problem to exchange them for hundreds of millions of low-quality spirit stones. However, no one would be stupid enough to do such a thing.

There are eighteen cities in Nanhe Island, including five large cities and thirteen medium-sized cities. The medium-sized city where Guyuan is located is called Qingyi City. There is an antique street in the city. The antique street does not sell other things but antiques taken out from ancient ruins.

Whether the antiques are valuable or not depends entirely on the customer's vision. You may spend a huge amount of money and get only a piece of rubbish, or you may spend a small amount of money and buy a treasure of inestimable value.

"Generally, the real ancient relics cannot be detected by spiritual power, and the Linghai realm who can use soul power will not appear here. Even if there is something, most of them will not look at it. I can try to see if I can find a bargain."

Walking in the antique street, it was already winter, Gu Yuan had already changed into the fox fur coat given by Murong Qingcheng, and the purple belt around his waist, thinking in his heart. Under normal circumstances, the spiritual power of the Star Realm can explore a range of ten miles.

Gu Yuan is a person with soul talent. Although his soul power is not as terrifying as Ye Chen's, which is five times that of ordinary people, after entering the Star Realm, his soul power has been fully developed and can radiate within a radius of more than thirty miles.

The antique street is very long and there are endless stream of warriors.

In addition to the quaint shops on both sides of the street, there are more stalls of various sizes, and there is a warrior sitting behind each stall.

Under the radiation of soul power, Gu Yuan quickly found some relatively valuable things.

But he was too lazy to pick up those scattered things, he would only look for the real treasures.

After a moment, he stopped at the end of the street.

"Boss, what is this?"

Gu Yuan picked up a red bead from the stall on the left and asked pretending to be ignorant.

The stall owner was an old man, whose cultivation was at the late Bao Yuan Realm, and whose potential had been exhausted. He smiled and said, "I got this from a level 5 demon beast. Although I don't know what it is, its hardness is much stronger than that of a low-grade treasure, and is comparable to a mid-grade treasure. If you are interested in buying it, just give me three thousand low-grade spirit stones."

The other party saw that Gu Yuan was a powerful person in the Star Realm and did not dare to offer too high a price.

"Okay, I want it."

Gu Yuan nodded and paid the spirit stones.

Just as he was about to put the beads away, a clear voice came, "I'll pay 30,000 low-grade spirit stones, give me the beads."

A fragrant breeze blew by, and a young woman walked up to the stall. The woman was about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, with a red whip wrapped around her waist that emitted amazing spiritual energy. She was petite and beautiful, but the hint of arrogance between her eyebrows told Gu Yuan that she was by no means a virtuous person.

"Miss, I would also like to sell it to you, but I have already sold this bead to this young man."

The old man was somewhat tempted. Thirty thousand low-grade spirit stones was definitely a huge sum of money for him. It was enough to buy a good low-grade treasure.

But the things have already been sold, he can't possibly snatch them from Gu Yuan.

"Then sell the beads to me, and I will give you 30,000 middle-grade spirit stones."

The young woman looked at Gu Yuan, her tone almost commanding.

“Not for sale.” Gu Yuan ignored the young woman and directly put the beads into the storage ring.

"Then I'll grab it."

The young woman seemed to be lawless, and seeing that Gu Yuan was only at the peak of the middle stage of the Star Realm, he was weaker than her, so she just started fighting.

He took out the whip from his waist, swung his arm, and the red whip rolled towards Gu Yuan.
